I have been using stack overflow for a little while and whenever I got an upvote, it was valued 10 points.

Yesterday I've got an upvote worth only 9 points without any explanation or downvotes on that same answer. Why is that? Should I specify which question it was? Is there a difference on upvotes by question/tag/user or any other attributes and conditions?
